"It was in the news, and I have not spoken with the family over the weekend," Seacrest explained. As the executive producer of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Seacrest has a unique advantage for this kind of news. He can literally call Kris Jenner. And he did! On air, he and co-host Kelly Ripa eagerly awaited Jenner's response to their query about the news.

They're referring to the "this person is typing" bubble that appears on the iMessage screen. During the segment, though, Kris Jenner did text back. The bubble became a text!

Jenner's answer is noncommittal: "Kylie's not confirming anything."

This reflects Jenner's earlier statement about the news. "[Kylie's] not confirmed anything," the reality star matriarch told The Cut shortly after the news broke. "I think it’s kind of wild that everyone is just assuming that that’s just happening."

Of course, she hasn't denied anything, either. The Kardashians like to do publicity on their own terms — it's how they make their living really. So, Kris Jenner and Kylie Jenner will tell us what's happening when they're good and ready. The same goes for Kim Kardashian's rumored third pregnancy, for which she's employing a surrogate. The Kardashians discuss their family affairs when they want to. No sooner, no later.
